There's no time like the present for "Songs on the Death of Children", and that's just what the present holds for KTL. The experimental duo consisting of Stephen "Sunn O)))" O'Malley and Peter "Pita" Rehberg is currently touring "Kindertotenlieder", its namesake theatrical piece with the aforementioned dour translation. But the future...oh, the future! KTL's future holds a (hopefully) much cheerier North American tour.

The tour is a bite-sized affair, but support on some of the dates comes from KTL's Thrill Jockey labelmate Németh, aka electro-acoustic technician Stefan Németh of Radian and Lokai. Németh is touring in support of his recent solo debut, Film, and he has a pair of solo shows in May to go along with his dates on the KTL tour.
